This Week in NYC: September 26-October 2

And just like that, it’s the last week of September! After spending the weekend in upstate New York and feeling those forty degree temperatures, I’m more than ready to break out my flannels. This week is shaping up to truly a “10” in both temps and social activities. Check out our event picks below.

Monday

Celebrity chef Geoffrey Zakarian is bringing his famed Food Talks series to the 92nd Street Y to chat with actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, chef and actor David Burtka.
